外国人旅行者も年々増えてきていると思います。 コンセントはUSBに切り替えるなどされると親切かなぁ？と思います。 トイレは洗浄器付きにしていただけると嬉しいです。 お料理、サービス、ご説明、全て大満足でした。 楽しい旅行が出来ました、ありがとうございます。

Very nice and helpful people running the hotel. However, the place is VERY hard to find and reach, especially at night time. Moreover the room was exceptionally cold, including the mattress, so that I was forced to put a blanket below and another on top so as not to freeze. On the upside, as I said, the owner was really nice and even offered me to take me to the train station in the morning.

へや

部屋がかび臭い臭いがした。壁紙が不自然に張り替えてある部分があったので カビが生えたところを上から皿に張ってる感じ そのため部屋にかび臭い臭いがする。 ちゃんと洗濯したタオルですが、古い。 近くに立ち寄りの温泉があったけど、夜行くには道が暗くて怖い。

Super Pleasant Stay

The owner was beyond nice. Most of the time when we wanted to go anywhere within the city he would drive us there and sometimes he would come pick us up. After the first night when he picked us up from a restaurant I did not call him again for pickup and kept asking him to call us a cab to go to town, but still most times he would drive us. The rooms were clean and roomy compared to other Japanese hotels. We had two rooms with private bathrooms, but I think most rooms share bathroom. We ate breakfast there two days, which was great. Two down sides to the hotel, no phones so we could not do room to room calls when we needed to and the location. There is not much around there so if you want to grab a bite to each or shop or something you have to call a cab or the owner has to drive you there. At the same time we felt like we were in a cabin in the middle of a jungle, especially with all the sound from toucan birds and such. The owner was so nice and accommodating that the location was not a big deal. Overall this was an exceptionally pleasant stay.
